Application Process at SIXT
GENERAL APPLICATION PROCESS
Apply in just a few steps via our career website.
As soon as we have received your application, you will get a confirmation of receipt by email. Our recruiting team makes a pre-selection from all applicants in coordination with the respective specialist department.
This is followed by a telephone interview, for which we will find a suitable date in coordination with you. In this interview, you will get to know a member of our recruiting team and find out details about the advertised position. You have the opportunity to present yourself and your résumé and ask initial questions about the position and SIXT as an employer. We want to get to know you better here to find out more about your career and your values and motives.
The first video interview follows. Here you will get to know a colleague from the relevant specialist department and an employee from our recruiting team. We get an idea of you, your qualifications, and your motivation. We would like to find out if your type also suits SIXT. You have the chance to get to know SIXT better and to ask your questions about the position. The important thing is: Have fun and don't pretend. Just be authentic and yourself!
Depending on the position and the area, there may be a second personal interview in which you get to know another colleague from the respective specialist department, or the tasks and requirements of the advertised position are discussed in more detail.
Depending on the area and the position to be filled, in the last step, we invite you to the meet & greet on-site or welcome you to our practice day. Here you have the opportunity to get to know your future team and gain a better insight into day-to-day business and the actual role. If everything went well - and you are also convinced - we look forward to welcoming you to Team Orange. You will receive all the information and documents to start your job (by post and email) - then you can start soon.
